C/D Overview:

Ford’s original pony car concept was lots of ponies in a relatively small car. That was in 1964. The latest GT500 takes that idea to what must be its ultimate expression: the new 5.8-liter supercharged V-8 makes 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. What else do you need to know?

What's New

Redesigned for 2010; a heavy update for 2013 comes with a vast power increase, upgraded brakes, and new options, including the Performance Package and some great Recaro seats.

Behind The Wheel

The GT500 isn’t as agile as the Boss 302; there’s a lot more mass here, making transient responses more deliberate. But the Brembo brakes are fade-free, and the rush that goes with tramping on the gas is worth the (relatively low) price of admission.

Rollover Note: Dynamic (moving) test results (Tip or No Tip) and measured rollover-related properties determine vehicle's risk of rollover in single vehicle crash and its rollover rating. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is.
